Abstract
A device for transmitting electric signals detected by contact with the skin surface to an evaluating unit. The device has a stack of at least two layers of clothing (3, 7) with an electric path or electric line connection (4, 8) through each of the layers of clothing (3, 7). The lowermost layer of clothing (3) is provided with an electrode (2) contacting the skin surface of the body (1) of the wearer of the clothing and with an electrically conductive surface (5) on the side facing away from the skin surface. Each additional layer of clothing (7) stacked on the lowermost layer of clothing (3) is provided with an electrically conductive surface (6, 9) each on the underside and the top side. A carrying belt (11) is led over the stack of layers of clothing (3, 7) is provided with an electrically conductive surface (10), which faces the topmost layer of clothing (7) and which is connected to the evaluating unit (14) by means of an electric line (12).
